即爾中亦必有人倡為悖謬之說誘惑信眾、使入邪途。

蓋分派立異之事、在所不免；偽者既起、則真者彌著矣。

然則天主果食其言矣乎？無是理也！蓋出自義塞者、非必盡為義塞人；

予賜以永生、終無淪亡之虞、亦無能奪自予手。吾父所授於予者、有貴於宇宙萬有者焉。吾父手中所有、孰得從而奪之；予與父、一而已矣！』

病入膏肓。彼也不起。

雖然、吾知其行不遠矣。蓋其愚妄、已昭昭在人耳目、亦如彼二人之荒謬之終見暴露耳。

蒙天主聖父按預知而拔擢、因聖神而成聖、服膺恩命、而霑濡耶穌基督寶血之眾兄弟曰：願恩寵康寧、錫爾不匱、日進無疆。可頌哉、吾主耶穌基督之天主聖父也！天主大慈大悲、藉耶穌基督之復活、予吾人以新生、使吾人欣欣向榮、以望承其不朽不染不衰之洪基、斯則夙為爾曹預儲於天矣。蓋天主之神力、必能因爾之信德、保爾始終不渝、俾沐將顯於末日之恩澤也。

其播於磽地者、乃聞道即欣然受之、第內無根核、末能有恆、及因道而遇困厄、則頹然而廢矣。

枝之在我、而不結實者、彼則截之；其結實者、彼則裁之、使結實彌茂。

蓋偽基督假先知、將起而大施異跡奇事；倘可能者、並蒙選之人、亦將被惑矣。

於今亦然、固尚有蒙恩簡者存焉。雖然、既曰蒙恩、則不復憑業；不然、恩將失其所以為恩矣。

凡父所賜於予之人、必來歸予；來歸予者、予決不拒。予之所以降自天上者、非欲行己之志、乃欲行遣予者之志；而遣予者之志無他、即彼所授我之一切、予當保之勿失、且復活之於末日。

近聞有人由此前來、以言擾爾、搖惑爾心、此輩實未受吾儕之命、

耶穌基督之僕、雅谷伯之弟、樹德、致書於天主聖父所垂愛、耶穌基督所庇護之諸蒙召者曰：

夫既因認識吾主耶穌基督、而脫濁世之習氣、今復重入羅網、從此休矣！且其晚節必有較前更醜者焉。蓋與其知道而背命、孰若初未聞道之為愈乎？

吾人則非畏首畏尾、終致淪亡之徒也；乃浩然不疑、自求靈祉之人也。
